ISRAELI Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday told Jews in France that Israel is their home and his government wants them to immigrate.
Mr Netanyahu was to join Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, dozens of world leaders and millions people in a march through Paris last night in a show of support for France after the slaughter of 17 people in Islamist attacks last week.
Hamas condemned the attack on satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo while rejecting Mr Netanyahus comments comparing it to the Islamic group firing rockets from the Gaza Strip at civilians in Israel. Hamas condemns the desperate attempts by ... Netanyahu to make a connection between our movement and the resistance of our people on the one hand and global terrorism on the other, it said.
Hamas condemns the attack against Charlie Hebdo magazine and insists on the fact that differences of opinion and thought cannot justify murder.

I was just going to say "Stay Classy" to Bibi for not being able to wait until the dust settled before making his pitch.

Currently, if he spots any of these approaching him down the sidewalk, he will cross the street to avoid them.

Yeah it's not new.
Yeah no doubt he thinks he's got a winning argument there.
